Fans can catch a glimpse into the high-stakes drama with Channel 5's trailer release for The Feud. The tension is palpable in the community as an extension project exposes a plethora of troubles, including spying, blackmail, suspicions of adultery, and malice that could even lead to death.
The tagline chillingly advises to "Loathe thy neighbour," while images from the series foreshadow the intense conflict to come. As per The Feuds plot outline: "As objections to the plans are raised, unexpected skeletons and life-threatening secrets begin to rise to the surface."
Painted with an air of trepidation, The Feud demonstrates how Emma's pursuit of perfection devolves into obsession, paranoia, and dread, with a cascade of unpredictable repercussions not only for herself but also for her neighbours following a fateful decision.
The Feud premieres on 5 on Monday (April 14) at 9pm.
